I Do, Make, Read, Watch, Eat…

I don’t know what the deal has been lately, but I just have not wanted to blog. Like at all. None of my “stuck” topics appeal to me, I’ve just had a major case of “I don’t want to write” lately. I’m not sure if it’s been the crummy weather, or that I’ve been so busy, or that I’ve had a bunch of migraines this week. It’s probably a combination of all those things. I’m trying to get excited about writing again. There are a couple things coming up that I’m pretty excited about.

Thursday 20th–I have still been battling being sick and migraines and just generally being exhausted all the time, so I’m switching doctors and my first appointment with this new doctor is Thursday, so hopefully I will start seeing some progress.
Saturday 22nd–I’m going to the Associated Ladies of Milligan Conference. I’m going with a friend that I haven’t spent time with in forever, so I’m really looking forward to that, and the speaker is supposed to be really great.Sunday 23rd–I picked out a movie that I specifically want Amanda and Adam to see, so we are going to be viewing “The Hudsucker Proxy” on Sunday afternoon. I’m really excited and I hope they like it.Tuesday 25th–My 24th birthday! I don’t know why, but thinking about 24 seems really old. And Rizzoli and Isles comes back!Thursday 27th–Grey’s Anatomy is back!!Sunday March 2nd–The Oscars!!Friday March 21st–Divergent! It’s almost here.

What are you looking forward to in the next month?

I am so thankful that 23 years ago today, my husband, the handsome man to the left, was born. And I am so glad that I get to celebrate another birthday with him. If you do not know my husband, let me tell you, you are missing out because I think he is pretty amazing. He brings out the best of me and he makes me laugh. He is passionate and smart and fun to be around. He will always tell you what he thinks and he is very loving and compassionate. I love him so much. I am so blessed to be his wife (for almost two years now). I am so happy to be married to him. I know that I don’t brag on him enough. I am so proud of him and his hard work in seminary and in all that he does. He is an amazing man of God, and I love him so much.

Happy 23rd Birthday Adam!

If you asked me how my February was I would tell you “Fantastic!” But then, if I sat down and thought about it, I might have to change my answer. There were definitely great parts of February, but there were also the bad parts of February.

I wish that the weekend were several days longer than it actually is. I wish that I had more time to rest and relax. I usually have a lot to do over the weekend because it is usually the only time that I have to be productive because I am wiped out in the evenings. That’s why the weekend needs to be longer, so that I have a couple days to be productive and also a couple days to rest and relax instead of trying to fit it all into just a few days. Anyone with me?

Adam and I decided to celebrate my birthday on Friday because we are both busy today and won’t really get to spend any time together. So, after work we went to Crazy Tomato for pizza. It is one of our favorites, and it is pretty cheap. You get an order of delicious cheesy bread just for sitting down and we got a large pizza for $11 and took three pieces of it home. It was delicious. Adam’s gift to me was some shopping money, so after dinner he took me shopping. It was really fun, and I still have some money left over for some after birthday spending as well. The only downside to the evening was that I wore these really cute shoes that pinched my toes and gave me blisters. Adam said I was walking around the mall like someone had just chopped off one of my toes. Then we just came home, played games, watched TV and relaxed.

Saturday morning I slept in a little longer than usual, which was good since I haven’t been getting very much sleep. My arm was feeling good so I cleaned the kitchen and did laundry. Now, don’t think I went crazy. I was definitely babying my arm but was just trying to get some stuff done that I had neglected. I watched another best picture movie, “Grand Hotel,” which I really enjoyed. It is definitely one of my favorites. I got all the laundry done, the whole kitchen is clean, we had chicken parmesan for dinner, we watched “South Pacific” and played some games, and I got to finish the night off by watching “Pitch Perfect”. Yay!

Sunday we went to church, enjoyed some fellowship and potluck afterwards (and I didn’t die). After church I did my grocery shopping, Adam preached the night service, I made some absolutely delicious macaroni and cheese, and I am so sad that I forgot to take pictures for you! Then I made myself birthday cupcakes and we watched the Oscars.

And today is my birthday J I have felt the love today. Yay for another year. I hope you all had as awesome a weekend as I did. My only regret is that I didn’t take any pictures!

If you have noticed a lack of “crafty” posts recently, that is because I have discovered how difficult it is to craft without extra spending money, but I have some ideas and some stuff lying around, so maybe I’ll come up with something to share with you soon.

Tonight I will be working another 4 hours at the Phoneathon. And coming soon, a blog post about my love of scrapbooking!

I thought I would take some time to update you on my life this morning. I feel like I haven’t written very much this week.

1-Have have found a new website that I looovvveee!! It is called goodreads. It is a website where you can put in all the books you have read, rate and write reviews on them, list the books you are currently reading, and the books you want to read. I love it. It is pretty addicting. And my “to-read” list is growing faster than I can keep up with it. I added the goodreads widget to the right, so check it out.

2-In case you did not already know, I got the scholarship to attend the Religious Communicators Council annual convention free of charge April 4-6. I am so excited! It is going to be a great time of networking and learning.

3-I went to the doctor yesterday about my shoulder. It turns out they did find tearing in my MRI. It is not in the labrum, which I do not know if that is good news or bad news, but it is in my bicep tendon. And the only way to fix this is to have surgery. There are temporary things they can do to relieve the pain, but nothing will fix it but surgery. After surgery I will need to be in a sling for 6 weeks and then do 6-8 weeks of physical therapy. We don’t know when the surgery will be yet, but we need to save some money before it can happen. Also, since I need to be able to drive to Indianapolis for the convention in April and cannot do that for 6 weeks after surgery, the surgery will probably have to be after the convention in April, so my guess is that it will be sometime in April. Which is good because hopefully we can have a good chunk saved by then.

4. I have been dreaming of babies all week! It has been so crazy! I have been finding a lot of cute baby stuff on Pinterest for whenever Adam and I decide to embark on that adventure, so maybe it has gone to my head…

5. I have been working the Emmanuel Phoneathon for a few nights this week and will be doing it a couple nights next week. It has been lots of hours of calling, many hang-ups, but still good conversations and donations. It has been a good experience so far.

6. This is going to be the best weekend ever! I get to have a birthday celebration with my husband and the Oscars are on Sunday! Yay! And then either Thursday or Friday of next week my parents are coming down for my sister’s opera and to celebrate my birthday. I am excited to spend some time with them, and they are bringing us some furniture that I’m really pumped about! It’s also potluck Sunday at church, which is a lot of fun fellowship, but also a little stressful for me, so let’s hope that goes well.

7. Random fact: I have been seriously craving pizza all week and I’m hoping that this weekend, with some birthday money, I will be able to enjoy some warm, cheesy, yummy pizza. Hmm…I wish I was close enough that Joe Bologna’s would deliver to me!

And now, Funny Friday:Hope that made your friday even better!! I know it did for me 🙂
